Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Mar. 18, 1913.

Application filed September 6, 1912. Serial No. 718,971.

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANK GEORGEL-IN, a citizen of the United States,residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York,have invented new and useful Improvements in Cuspidors, of which thefollowing is a specification.

The present invention relates to improvements in cuspidors, and residesin the novel construction, combination, and arrangement of parts setforth in the following description and falling within the scope of theappended claim.

In the drawing, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the improved cuspidor.Fig. 2 is a central longitudinal sectional view illustrating theposition of the parts when the cover is swung to an open position.

Referring now to the drawing in detail, the numeral 1 designates acuspidor which is provided with a hinged closure 2. Connected adjacentthe bottom of the cuspidor and extending longitudinally thereof, is asubstantially V-shaped member 3. The member 3, in the present instanceis constructed from a single strand of wire, and the said member isdesigned to serve as a means for preventing the accidental tilting oroverthrow of the cuspidor, as well as for an additional purpose whichwill presently be set forth. The V-shaped member 3 has its arms securedattheir ends to the opposite sides of the cuspidor, adjacent the bottomof the said cuspidor and intermediate of the hinge or cover, the saidmember extending longitudinally a suitable distance from the cuspidorand is adapted to engage with the support upon which the cuspidor rests.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim is In combination, acuspidor having a hinged top and having a lever pivotally connected toone of its sides directly belOW its hinged cover and above the bottom ofthe cuspidor, an angular rod securely connected with the lever adjacentthe outer end thereof and loosely connected with the top of the cuspidorforward of its hinge, a member having angular arms disposed below thelever and having the extremities of its arms secured to the sides of thecuspidor, a spring having one of its end convolutions connected to theend of said memher, and its opposite convolution secured to the leverforward of the connection of the rod with the lever.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
